Is it a full on blood test they do or just a finger prick? Just so I can mentally prepare myself if it's two proper blood tests in one day

They don’t always get it right. I would wait for your anomaly test at the hospital before worrying… and even then try not to worry obviously. (Disclaimer: that Still doesn’t mean the measurement they do there will be any more accurate)
Full blood testIs it a full on blood test they do or just a finger prick? Just so I can mentally prepare myself if it's two proper blood tests in one day
Full on I'm afraid. They ended up doing one of mine out of my hand as my arm veins are v uncooperativeIs it a full on blood test they do or just a finger prick? Just so I can mentally prepare myself if it's two proper blood tests in one day
That may not be the baby's measurement
My 12 week scan this time has similar numbers but says 6.2cm
I was hoping they’ll fit a tap so they can do two in one, but NHS website just says it’s one blood withdrawal then another after the liquid. I will inform you of what mine was like tomorrow!Is it a full on blood test they do or just a finger prick? Just so I can mentally prepare myself if it's two proper blood tests in one day
It has just been a blood test in 1 arm/hand and then another in the other arm/hand after the drink and waiting
I've had 3 GTtests 
I had a Finger prick, a blood test then went back 2 hours later for another blood test.Is it a full on blood test they do or just a finger prick? Just so I can mentally prepare myself if it's two proper blood tests in one day

I have become far less brave as I’ve advanced through my pregnancy. My little girl has been asking if she can come to the hospital with me but I don’t want her to see what a wimp her mum is about blood tests!!! I used to be hard as nails and all I want to do now is run in the opposite direction of a phlebotomist.
oh why do I hate the finger prick as much as the actual blood test?

I honestly don’t know….I didn’t ask… was too busy getting clammy hands ready for the blood test.
They don’t get easier, I think because some people aren’t as gentle doing them, I had one women in a&e that was so bad had a big bruise up my wrist… now Im always worried it will be like that again! I wanna hug the person doing them when it’s a nice smooth one!
31 weeks today and I’ve woken up thinking duck I’m actually having a baby 
@Motherofpugs scan went all well, active little baby and 14 weeks friday!!Thank you so much @Motherofpugs so nice to hear you'll have your rainbow with you very soon! Wishing you the best with the delivery, let us know when they're here!
Does anyone else keep seeing those articles come up on Facebook like ‘why I regret becoming a mum, it’s a scam’ 
(probably because I clicked on one before). I love children so much and I’m not a party girl/big drinker so Im not concerned about ‘mourning’ my youth or anything like that but mentally am I gonna be able to cope if it’s THAT hard that people regret becoming mothers? I’m scared I’m not going to be good enough.

Ignore these articles. People over exaggerate to make a headline and get a quick payday, most are from tiktok where they live for being OTT.Does anyone else keep seeing those articles come up on Facebook like ‘why I regret becoming a mum, it’s a scam’
It is hard I won't lie to you. But no matter how hard it feels, at the end of the day you feel like your very own superhero.
When you look back on the first few months, you feel a utter sense of pride.
It isn't a walk in the park by any means, but it's no where near as bad as these strange folk make out.
I've had some proper crap days. Yet I'd do it all again in a heartbeat
Did anyone feel like they had a bit of a relapse with sickness in their second trimester? My first trimester I felt sick but never was sick and it didn’t stop me getting through my day. Now I’m 14 weeks I’ve been sick a small amount this morning and the past week everything is setting off my gag reflex and making me feel nauseous especially when I cough even when I’m in public places! I’m hoping it’s going to pass fairly soon!
I had something very similar to this. Smells particularly would set me off, even more so on an empty stomach. It started to improve around 18ish weeks for me and went down from 1-2 times a day to 1-2 times a week by 21/22 weeks. I'm 27 weeks today and it's been two weeks at least since it last happened. Solidarity! Hope it improves soon.
Yeah but only for a week, I had horrendous morning sickness until around week 10/11, then I think around week 14/15 I relapsed for about a week. I had covid in the middle and I’ll blame that on my projectile vomiting and not the little one
sometimes in the mornings I’m still a little nauseous but I’m nearly 21 weeks now and it’s definitely improved, just very up and down!Yorkshire tea decaf is the best for me, peppermint tea is good especially if you are suffering with any bloating or trapped wind. If you are into fizzy drinks Pepsi max caffeine free tastes exactly the same
As I'mThankyou said. It is hard.Does anyone else keep seeing those articles come up on Facebook like ‘why I regret becoming a mum, it’s a scam’
I've never heard anyone say they regret having kids.
Those articles are stupid.
It's hard yes, but, you can have a sleepless, stressful night, and the second that baby smiles at you, or grabs your finger, or stares at you, you literally forget it in an instant.
It's so worth it.
Just the fact you're worried you won't be good enough, already tells me you'll do just fine!
